Equilibrium constant Kp for the reaction P4(s) + 6Cl2(g) 4PCl3(l) Kp = 1/ P6Cl2 Kp = P4Cl3/ P6P4 Kp = P4Cl3/ (P6P4) (P6Cl2) Kp = 1/ (P6P4) (P6Cl2)

Answer:
K_p=(1)/([p_(Cl_2)]^6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of pressure of products to the pressuure of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as
K_p

For the given chemical reaction:


P_4(s)+6Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 4PCl_3(l)

The expression for
K_p in terms of gaseous is written as:


K_p=(1)/([p_(Cl_2)]^6)
